To the Editor OF the hasie.

To the Editor OF the haSie
In recent issue of the EAGLE I read an
interesting letter from your And0ver cor
respondent in which he gave quite glow
ing account of the boom at that place. so
while out in that vicinity few days ago
we thought we would drive into the town
and sec for ourselves, and We found that
the half had not been told We found the
on the St Louis & San Francisco railroad,
and we found its population of three hun
dred people to be busy, energetic and pros
porous The town is situated in As fine a
country as there j, in the stase. There Is
lot an acre of ground for miles around
that can not be cultivated, and the soil is a
deep black loan. The place is noted for
its abundance of never failing and pure
water at depth of twenty to thirty five
feet They have what is said to be the
largest and best arranged elevator on the
Frisco line between Wichita and st Louis.
There is large and commodious church
building with large membership and reg
ular attendance There is also a good
graded school Three blacksmith shops,
one wagon shop, two drug stores, la:ge
hardware store, large harness shop, and
number of general stores, and all seem to
De doing good business. We found no
land Office nor WAS any one giving their
time or attention to booming the town as
almost all towns are now doing,
but we found that the town
WA actually booming itself on
its own merits without any help from any
one. but we learned while there that some
OF the enterprisiug citizens of that place,
in company with some Ell Dorado and
Wichita capitalists headed by Judge T. B.

acres Of beautiful laying land As an adj
ton 10 the south part Of town Which

WHAT IT MEANS.
The. Election of J.P. Allen andIts Results

- Wichita has her own way Of doing things
1t is and always has been as city unique
and original. Few people outside of the
city suspicioned, probably. that the quie1
campaign and the subsequent election
which hardly disturbed the surface of mat
tiers involved more intense feeling than any
election ever held in the city, but such is
the fact, which fact needs no explanation
TO our people.
The Specification of Tuesdays work calls
for no Interpretation. There is no misun-
Outstanding or possibility Of a misinterpre-
tatlon so far as our people are concerned.
1t means law and order instead of haphaZ-
zard rule and blind prejudice; it means con-
tinued growth and prosperity instead of
strikes and stagnation; il means that the
men who have made this the brightest
and most prosperous city in Kansas, and
over their entire interests and the manage
ment of their affairs TO adventures and the
rule Of secret organitions; it means that
men who love law, and order, and peace
and plenty, will, unite in the hour Of dan
ger, without regard to political predilec-
tons, to save their homes; il means tba
those who respect the rights OF property in
Wichita are in number more than two to
one to the com bined elements who would
stop every improvement if their demands
were not acceded to, however unreason
able; it means that Wichita is going to
continue her growth with plenty of work
for everybody at good wages, and that
those who do not want work shall not
stand in the way of or intimidate those
who do, and that fully three men to
one In this city, to-day. have
so determined; it means that if any rings.
corporate, or otherwise, are organized in
this city now, or which may hereafter be
organized, to swallow other smaller rings,
other corporations, or for the purpose of
bOodling steals through the council or for
defrauding or squeezing the city, that we
have a mayor who will unceremoniously
knock the bottom out of all such arrang
ments and combinations, and that the
EAGLE will be at his back to expose, to lay
bare and to defeat every such combination;
it means that the buildings contracted, will
be built three to five thousand Of them;
that the factories will come and from ten
to twenty thousand people added to our
population during the coming administra-
ton. La short, Wichita is just where she
was, just where she has always been, on
the high road of prosperity,

A EMAGOGUE.

In answer to MIR. Henry Georges state
ment that the tendency is to fewer real es-
tate owners, fewer farm proprietors. and
larger landed eStates-in other words. to-
wards monopoly of land, the Chicago
Tribune complies figures from the census
report which shows as follows: In 1860
there were 2, 044, or farms in the United
Staes. In 1870 there were 1853, 9S5, and
in 1889 the number ,00S, 90T Part of
this increase is caused by making new
farms in the west, but the increase is large
ly due 10 the subdivision of farms in the
older states. The census shows that every
state has Il largely increased increased mum
be of farms Old settled states like New
York and Connecticut make an increase of
1 per cent. per decade, while states like
l IVA and Missouri increased in the decade
1870 1880 at the rate of 60 per cent. The
number of farms in Kansas was mere than
quadrupled in the same time. and the num-
Der of farms l. Minnesota doubled.

BLACKMAILING WRITE-UPS.

A number of towns along the upper Ar
kansas are paying for wri'e-up of their
places in the Kansas City Journal Some
of the towns pay as high as one hundred
and fifty to two hundred dollars for simply
Rlush that nobody but the parties interested
ever read. The EAGLE publishes a good
many writc-ups OF newsy letters from
towns in southwest Kansas, but the EAGLE
never charged a cent or received cent for
such communications or for the space oc-
cupied 10y them: If any of our local cor
respondents or travelling correspondents
should ever charge any man a cent FOR such
work we hope the matter may be speedily
reported TO this office The EAGLE is no
black mailer and will permit no black

The newspapers say that alfalfa Is fast
becoming popular and profitable crop in
western Kansas. The rapidity of Its
growth and abundance of its yield is aston
ishing to those who are unacquainted with
it. From three to four crops may be har-
vested in one season. 1t yields from three
to four tons per acre. each cutting, and
sells from S. to SO per ton. 1t makes the
best of food for horses, cattle and sheep.

The National Civil Service Reform
League, through special committee, de-
clares: ut is not our duty TO extoi the
administration, nor to accuse it, nor to
apologize for it, but to take a reckoning"
And then it proceeds to say in the most
childlike and prattling way that the facts
show that ''the course of the administra-
ton in regard to appointments removals
and suspensions has been irregular, incon-
sistent and sometimes inexplicable. ]"
This ought to satisfy the League. we
should say that as rsformer, Mr.. Cleve-
land is a miserable disappointment; but on
the contrary, it goes on to declare that,
after all, there never was any reason for
believing him likely to be such reformer

say, as the Irishman remarked of his pig,
he doesn't weigh as much as they expected,
and they never supposed he would.-Globe
